I think My RAC will GO UP!!!!

Well I just passed the 15000 RAC credit Mark. And then made the decsion to OC it more. ( I still got this Geforce 210 here that needs some work. ) Must get new Mobo soon.

For the first time ever I've got a video card that will be running 24/7. What program(s) do you guys use to monitor video temps?

I use GPU-z, which also has logging so I can run monitors on the logs to alert if there's a problem.

SETI killed the 8800GTS yesterday. Everything had been going fine, except for an occasional driver reset issue (which I read up on and did a little tweaking to resolve), temps were good just under 70°C, I set the fan running at 80% (instead of auto at 60%) - it all looked great. Then yesterday morning I got a BSOD followed by increasing problems until it started artificing all over the place. So, I swapped for one of my 7900GTX's, got rid of all the old drivers, then swapped it back in and went with only a minimal driver install. The problem came right back. Dead card.

That sucks. It's never fun losing good hardware.

Now you have an excuse to put it in the oven though.

??? That must be a piece of computer lore I've missed.

Here you go.

Funny someone can be a forum moderator and not know of oven fix. I would think everyone who has at least 3 stars under their name knows of it.

Well, QI is *only* a senior member. Maybe he just doesn't get out much.

First off, where's the chin-drop smilie? That thread deserves three!
(Thanks for the link.)

That's pretty much the answer. There are some sections of the forum I just don't visit much. If Armageddon starts in one of the two Intel sections I'll be the last person on Earth to know about it. OK, maybe second to last - rseven will be the last.

Before SETI could use them I had little need to be up-to-date on video cards. Most of my gaming is strategy, simulation, or on-line (DDO), none of which require a lot of video power. (My 7900GTX's will probably last a few more years.)

I think I am doing it wrong. I am getting almost 17500RAC off of one of my systems with just a GTX 470 and a Phenom II x4 at 4.1GHZ

which seems to be more than others on our team with the same card. I even have someone with 2 gtx 470 beat.

Why is this?

 

[QuietIce]

It could be that a bunch of units just got turned in by your wingman. That's why I like to look at the daily and weekly totals instead of just relying on the RAC.

There could be other variables other than difference between daily, weekly, and RAC.

Optimized BOINC vs stock can make a big difference.
overclocked CPU/GPU
Not everyone knows of trick to make GPU do more than 1 WU at once. I just found out a couple weeks ago and my RAC won't change to reflect that for a while.
Some people may also be using the PC for other things like playing games.
Also on my AMD rig, BOINC is set to use only 4 of the 6 cores

Lastly, my AMD rig is in pieces as I wanted to flush and refresh my WC set and now I got to wait for new part because a piece on Typhoon III suicided after I drained the water.

Yea I suppose It's just my RAC seems rather high for one card and 4cores . (when I was looking around )
